For those who are remote and who live near a Google office, we hope you’ll consider switching to a hybrid work schedule. Our offices are where you’ll be most connected to Google’s community. Going forward, we’ll consider new remote work requests by exception only.”
now.. maybe it's just me, but re-reading that sentence makes my eye note "AND WHO LIVE NEAR" as well as CONSIDER SWITCHING as well as EXCEPTION ONLY.
Is EXCEPTION ONLY limited? how do we know?
what about "how big is LIVE NEAR" as a cohort.
The article is a hot take I want to believe too, but legalistic reading says its "doesn't want" in the sense of "want, not is not permitting"
nobody is being strongarmed, from whats read above. There's getout clauses a-plenty for any authorised manager to 'exception' their way out of this.
Google doesn't want people to leave en mass, or unionise either. Want doesn't drive hard sometimes. The real world intrudes.
